The Sydney Roosters and Parramatta Eels will meet at Allianz Stadium on Saturday night. The Eels shocked Manly with a 23-14 win last week and will look to claim another big scalp this weekend. 

Meanwhile, the Roosters are coming off the bye, meaning their most recent outing was a 24-18 victory over the Broncos in Round 17. 

Sydney sits third on the ladder after back-to-back wins. For the Roosters, Daniel Tupou will return for his 300th match, while Origin representatives James Tedesco and Mark Nawaqanitawase have been named, but Sam Walker and Reece Robson have been listed among the reserves, with Hugo Savala shifting to halfback and Connor Watson starting at hooker. 

Salesi Foketi replaces the suspended Nat Butcher, while Spencer Leniu is elevated to start in place of Lindsay Collins. 

The Eels have named Mitchell Moses to back up from Origin, while Araz Nanva starts for the injured Sean Russell. Parramatta claimed a 30-10 victory over Sydney last season.

Roosters vs Eels Prediction and Betting Tips 

Head-to-Head Prediction 

Parramatta head into this one with some genuine confidence after knocking off Manly last week, with Dylan Walker and Jonah Pezet doing the damage with Mitch Moses' Origin duty absence.

Jason Ryles' men have been close to the mark all season without ever looking truly dominant and rightfully sit in 14th on the ladder.

Our read was that Manly were shell-shocked without their own Origin stars, and we're not convinced Parramatta can spring the same kind of ambush twice.

Particularly against a classy outfit like Uncle Nick’s Roosters who have just taken a break after effectively ending the season of the Brisbane Broncos in Round 17.

This Roosters outfit, with the likes of Sam Walker and Nawaqanitawase typically backing up just fine from representative footy, looms as a bridge too far for the Eels at Allianz Stadium.

Betting tip: Sydney Roosters. 

First Try Scorer Prediction 

What better way to celebrate an Origin series win than grabbing the first try in this one!That’s what we’re tipping Roosters and NSW winger Mark Nawaqanitawase to do here. Last season’s leading try scorer is on a tear at the moment and has scored two tries in four of the Roosters last five matches in Sydney.

We love backing a man in form for this market, so that makes Marky Mark an easy pick here. 

Betting tip: Mark Nawaqanitawase.

Over/Under Prediction 

Each of Parramatta's last six matches have gone under the total match points line.

Betting tip: Under (48.5) total match points. 

Line Prediction

Sydney has covered the line in eight of its last nine matches as a favourite against Parramatta.

Betting tip: Rooster (-10.5) line.
